  I have shopped here since it opened and will miss the store. The next nearest Bashas is too far from my home. Instead of shopping Bashas several times each week, I will now only be able to shop Bashas a couple of times per month. We stuck by Bashas even when they went into bankruptcy, we just wish they would have stuck by us.

  Sad to hear the news about this store. I feel Bashas' continues to be a poorly run company... even after all the changes, post-bankruptcy. My nearest location is 7th Ave and Osborn in PHX, and it has not been updated since 1970's. It should have been an embarrassment to the company for years, yet they've done nothing to improve it as the adjacent Willo neighborhood has become a more fashionable and trendy area in the last couple decades.
  The Basha family needs to focus less on building luxury vacation homes on the Oregon coast for themselves and more on the business that made them one of the more prominent families in this state!

  Ev, I grew up in your neighborhood and watched the historic districts embarrass themselves with arrogant attempts to tell Bashas' how to run its business, even demanding that they turn that store into an AJ's location (because Central and Camelback is too far? Give me a break!)

  Bashas' is Bashas'. It's not AJ's. If you want to pay more, go there!
